It can be confusing that they differ, but as it stands it reflects how much
space would be freed if you deleted that one archive.

I think that the easiest way if you want the the original value of the
"Deduplicated size" is to log the output of borgbackup.

I guess the other statistic that would be of interest is how much space
would be freed if some set of archives were deleted.
